用于喷射挥发性组合物的系统 Injection system for volatile compositions

发明领域本发明涉及用于喷射挥发性组合物的方法和装置。 Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for spraying volatile compositions.在一些实施方案中，本发明涉及用于喷射两种或多种不同挥发性组合物的方法和装置。 In some embodiments, the present invention relates to a method and means for injecting two or more different volatile compositions be used.

发明背景通常认为可使用电气装置将香料和/或芳香剂蒸发至空间中，尤其是家居空间，例如客厅，以此来提供令人愉悦的香味。 Background of the invention may be generally considered an electrical device used to flavor and / or fragrance to the space in the evaporator, in particular domestic space, e.g. living room, in order to provide a pleasant aroma.这样的待售装置有多种，例如AIRWICKDiffuser ACTIF(由Reckitt Benckiser制造)或AMBI-PUR香味扩散装置(由Sara Lee制造)。 Such a variety of sale device, e.g. AIRWICKDiffuser ACTIF (manufactured by the Reckitt Benckiser) or the AMBI-PUR fragrance diffuser (manufactured by Sara Lee).通常，这些装置由香料或芳香剂源、电加热器和电源组成，通过加热香料或芳香剂源为装置所在的空间提供持续的香料或芳香剂。 Typically, these devices by a source perfumes or fragrances, and the electric heater power source composition provides sustained perfumes or fragrances perfumes or fragrances by heat source is a space where the apparatus.

该配置的问题是处在所述空间中的人将很快习惯香料或芳香剂，不久将感觉不到并且可能根本不会注意正在增加的芳香剂的效力。 The problem is in the configuration of the space will soon get used to perfumes or fragrances, you will soon feel and might not pay attention to increasing the effectiveness of fragrances.这是一种被称为“适应”的熟知现象，已经开始寻找解决该问题的方法。 This is a well-known phenomenon called "adaptation", has begun to find a solution to the problem.

Whitby等人的美国专利申请公布2002/0159916 A1描述了一个用于解决该问题的方法。 Whitby et al., US Patent Application Publication 2002/0159916 A1 describes a method for solving this problem.Whitby等人的专利申请公开了一种适合为一个空间提供两种或多种芳香剂组合物的方法和装置，至少其中之一周期性地提供芳香剂组合物。 Whitby et al patent application discloses a method and apparatus adapted to provide two or more fragrance compositions to a space, wherein at least one fragrance compositions is provided periodically.该方法和装置可提供第一种芳香剂组合物的连续供给，并且周期性供给第二种芳香剂组合物。 The method and apparatus may provide a continuous supply of a first fragrance composition and periodic supply of a second fragrance composition.所述芳香剂组合物可通过加热而蒸发，并且该组合物可包括除臭剂和/或杀虫剂化合物。 The fragrance composition may be evaporated by heating, and the composition may include deodorant and / or insecticidal compounds.芳香剂组合物被优选以使得两种芳香剂组合物相互对照或具有不同的气味。 Fragrance composition is preferably such that two kinds or fragrance composition each having a different odor control.芳香剂组合物通常从一个包括加热器的装置中被脉动。 Fragrance composition is generally from pulsation means comprises a heater.通过提供装置尤其是带控制器的加热器来控制释放芳香剂组合物的周期性热能供给，该控制器采用电子电路形式。 Periodically supplying thermal energy to control the release of the fragrance composition by a heater especially provided with controller means, the controller is in the form of electronic circuits.配置控制器以使加热器运行较短一段时间，该时间优选为15秒至15分钟，并且其中具有“适当的时间间隔”。 Configure the controller to run a short period of time so that the heater, the time is preferably 15 seconds to 15 minutes, and having an "appropriate time interval."

然而，Whitby等人的专利申请似乎主要针对维持或支持连续喷射的芳香剂组合物的嗅觉效果，而不是为使用者提供明显的芳香剂的变化。 However, in Whitby et al. Patent application appears to be primarily for maintaining or supporting the olfactory effect of the fragrance composition of a continuous jet instead of providing the user with significant changes fragrance.另外，尽管Whitby等人的专利申请提到两种或多种芳香剂的周期供给，但没有描述相互之间不同的芳香剂供给的喷射方式或程序的具体讲授，以使得使用者实际上体验不同的芳香剂而不是由两种组合物混合而成的一种芳香剂。 Further, although the Whitby et al. Patent applications mentioned periodic supply of two or more fragrance, but do not disclose the injection manner or teach programs of different fragrances relative to each other is supplied, so that the user actually experiences different perfume fragrance rather than a mixture of two compositions is formed.

发明概述本发明涉及用于喷射挥发性组合物的方法和装置。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for spraying volatile compositions.在一些实施方案中，本发明涉及用于喷射两种或多种芳香剂组合物的方法和装置。 In some embodiments, the present invention relates to a method and means for injecting two or more fragrance compositions used.本文描述了众多方法和装置的实施方案，所有实施方案均旨在为非限制性实施例。 Embodiment described herein a number of embodiments of the method and apparatus, all embodiments are intended as non-limiting examples.

发明详述本发明涉及用于喷射挥发性组合物的方法和装置。 DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for spraying volatile compositions.在一些实施方案中，本发明涉及用于喷射两种或多种挥发性组合物的方法和装置。 In some embodiments, the present invention relates to a method and means for injecting two or more volatile compositions used.本文描述了众多的所述方法和装置的实施方案，所有实施方案均旨在为非限制性实施例。 Numerous embodiments described herein of the process and apparatus, all embodiments are intended as non-limiting examples.

用于喷射挥发性组合物的方法可包括多种不同的实施方案。 A method for spraying volatile compositions can comprise a plurality of different embodiments.所述两种或多种挥发性组合物可以是芳香剂组合物，该组合物具有杀虫剂、空气清新剂、除臭剂、香草剂、香料或任何其它可调节、改善或换句话讲改变空气或改善环境的材料的功能。 The two or more volatile compositions can be fragrance compositions, the composition has insecticides, air fresheners, deodorants, vanilla, perfumes or any other adjustable or otherwise improve changing or improving the air environment of the functional material.在所述方法的给定实施方案中喷射的两种或多种挥发性材料可以是相同类型的材料(例如，两种或多种芳香剂组合物)，或者可以是不同类型的材料(例如，芳香剂组合物和空气清新剂)。 In a given embodiment of the method of ejecting two or more volatile materials may be the same type of material (e.g., two or more fragrance compositions), or may be different types of materials (e.g., fragrance compositions and air fresheners).除臭剂或恶臭控制组合物可包含选自：气味压制材料、气味阻塞材料、气味掩盖材料以及它们的组合。 Deodorants or malodor control compositions may be selected from the group comprising: pressing odor materials, odor blocking materials, odor masking materials, and combinations thereof.所述方法可以某一次序列喷射挥发性组合物，在该序列中不同挥发性组合物的喷射可在不同挥发性组合物之间自动交替。 The method may be a first volatile composition ejection sequence, the injector may be different volatile compositions automatically alternates between the different volatile compositions in the sequence.

可以任何合适的序列喷射挥发性组合物。 Injection sequence can be any suitable volatile compositions.挥发性组合物的喷射序列可以某种模式或者是随机的。 The firing sequence of volatile compositions may be in a pattern or be random.本文所用术语“模式”是指重复的序列。 As used herein, the term "mode" refers to a repeating sequence.在不同挥发性组合物的喷射序列为可重复的实施方案中，在初始序列之后所述模式可重复一次或任何次。 In the firing sequence of the different volatile compositions is repeatable embodiments, the pattern may be repeated once or any number of times after the initial sequence.本文所用术语“随机的”是指所述挥发性组合物的喷射次序不按规则的方式重复。 As used herein, the term "random" means that the ejection order of the volatile compositions does not repeat in a regular fashion.也可能是这样，一个喷射序列包括某种模式序列的一部分时间和随机序列的一部分时间。 Thus it may be, the injection sequence comprises a portion of the time part of the time and a random sequence of a certain pattern sequence.

在某些实施方案中以交替的次序喷射两种或多种挥发性组合物。 In certain embodiments, alternating sequence of two or more injection volatile compositions.例如，可能存在第一挥发性组合物和第二挥发性组合物，并且第一挥发性组合物以相对于所述第二挥发性组合物的交替周期喷射。 For example, there may be a first volatile composition and a second volatile composition, and the first volatile composition relative to the second alternate cycles volatile compositions injection.因此，如果第一挥发性组合物被指定为“1”，第二挥发性组合物被指定为“2”，那么，挥发性组合物可以下列交替的模式喷射：1，2，1，2，......，等。 Thus, if the first volatile composition is designated as "1", the second volatile composition is designated as "2", then, the volatile compositions can be injection following an alternating pattern: 1,2,1,2, ......,Wait.图1示意性显示这种喷射程序。 1 schematically shows such a spray program.在图1中，该图表示挥发性组合物受热源作用(或“活化”)的周期(例如，如果它们在一个具有用于加热组合物的加热器的装置中，该图可指示一段时间，在该时间周期内加热器被打开和关闭)。 In Figure 1, which shows a volatile composition by heat sources (or "activated") period (e.g., if they are in a device having a heater for heating the composition, the graph may indicate a period of time, and the heater is turned off during this time period).如果存在三种挥发性组合物，它们可按如下交替的方式喷射：1，2，3，1，2，3，......，等，如图2所示。 1,2,3,1,2,3, ......, etc., shown in Figure 2: If three kinds of volatile compositions are present, they may be injected as an alternating manner.

考虑这些图(和下述图)时，应当理解的是这些均为非限制性实施方案。 When considering these figures (and the following figures), it should be understood that these embodiments are non-limiting embodiment.在其它实施方案中，不需要为每一种挥发性组合物配置单独的挥发源(例如加热器)。 In other embodiments, the configuration does not require a separate volatilization source (such as a heater) for each volatile composition.存在任何合适数量的用于挥发性组合物的挥发源。 Source for the presence of any volatile volatile compositions suitable number.例如，可使用单一的挥发源来挥发多个挥发性组合物。 For example, a single volatilization source can be used to volatilize more volatile compositions.例如，这种挥发源可挥发不同的挥发性组合物，或者可选择性地将能量(例如，热能)传导至不同的挥发性组合物(例如通过打开和关闭位于挥发源和特定挥发性组合物之间的门)。 For example, such source may be volatilized volatile different volatile compositions, or may selectively energy (e.g., thermal energy) conducted to the different volatile compositions (e.g. by opening and closing located volatilization source and a specific volatile compositions door between).可供选择地，容器相对于挥发源可以为活动的(例如，容器可有选择地移过加热器)。 Alternatively, the container relative to the volatilization source can be active (e.g., the container may be selectively transferred through the heater).

本文所用术语“间隔”是指在喷射序列中最短的时段。 As used herein, the term "spacer" refers to the shortest period in the ejection sequence.本文所用术语“离散喷射周期”是指在喷射序列中喷射特定的挥发性材料(或挥发性材料的组合)的单独时段。 As used herein, the term "discrete injection period" refers to the injection of the specific volatile material (or combination of volatile materials) a separate injection period in sequence.这通常对应例如打开加热器来加热特定的挥发性材料或该材料的组合的一段时间(虽然在加热器的操作与挥发性材料的喷射之间可能存在轻微的滞后)。 This usually corresponds to, for example, open heater to heat a specific period of time composition of the volatile material or materials (although there may be between the volatile material and the spraying operation of the heater slight lag).在本文中离散喷射周期也可以被称为第一时段、第二时段等(每一个时段均具有开始和终止)。 Herein discrete injection period may be termed a first period, a second time of day (every period has a start and end).应当理解的是没必要在相等的时段内喷射不同的挥发性组合物。 It is understood that is not necessary to eject different volatile compositions at equal intervals.例如，在喷射一种挥发性组合物之后，可在一个较短的或可供选择地较长的时段内喷射不同的挥发性组合物。 For example, after one volatile composition injection, the injection may be different volatile compositions in a shorter or alternatively longer period.在另一个实施例中，在喷射一种挥发性组合物之后，可在喷射不同挥发性组合物之前跟随另一个相同挥发性组合物的时间间隔。 In another embodiment, the injection after one volatile composition, may be followed by another of the same time interval volatile composition before a different volatile composition injection.在相等的时段内没有喷射不同的挥发性组合物的情况下，可以期望提供在较长总时段内喷射数量较多的组合物，从而所述挥发性组合物将在大约相同的时间耗尽。 In the case where the time period is not equal to the injection of different volatile compositions, it may be desirable to provide a greater number of injection compositions over a longer period of total, so that the volatile compositions will be depleted at about the same time.存在众多可能的交替喷射序列。 There are numerous possible alternative injection sequence.在三种挥发性组合物的情形下，某些其它可能的喷射模式的非限制性实施例包括但不限于：(1，22，1，33)、(1，2，3，3，2，1)和(1，2222，11，3333，1)。 In the case of three kinds of volatile compositions, certain other non-limiting embodiments of the injection patterns may include, but are not limited to: (1,22,1,33), (1,2,3,3,2, 1) and (1,2222,11,3333,1).

在该方法的一些实施方案中，挥发性组合物可在小于或等于约15分钟的离散喷射周期内喷射，但更期望每一个喷射周期大于15分钟。 In some embodiments of the method, the volatile compositions can be injected within about 15 minutes or less discrete injection cycle, each injection is desirable but more than 15 minutes period.在具有香料的情况下更期望较长的时段。 In the case of a fragrance more desirable longer period.在该方法的一个实施方案中，挥发性组合物可在大于15分钟并小于或等于约12小时，或小于或等于约24小时，或小于或等于约48小时，或更长时间的每一离散喷射周期内交替喷射。 Each In one embodiment of the method, the volatile compositions can be greater than 15 minutes and less than or equal to about 12 hours, or less than or equal to about 24 hours, or less than or equal to about 48 hours or more discrete alternative injection cycle within the injector.在本说明书中给出的每一数值范围将包括包含于该较大数值范围内的每一较小的数值范围，如同该较小的数值范围在本说明中均有清楚的表示。 Every numerical range given throughout this specification will include a small range of values ​​contained within each of the larger numerical range, as if such narrower numerical ranges in this specification are clearly represented.因此，在另一个非限制性实施方案中，挥发性组合物在大于15分钟或者大于或等于约1小时并且小于2小时的周期内交替喷射。 Alternative injection cycle Accordingly, in another non-limiting embodiment, the volatile composition of greater than 15 minutes or greater than or equal to about 1 hour and less than 2 hours.在一个实施方案中，每一挥发性组合物在约72分钟的时段内喷射。 In one embodiment, each volatile composition is injected within a period of about 72 minutes.

所述挥发性组合物可被喷射使得一个喷射周期紧随另一个喷射周期的终止。 The volatile compositions may be injected such that an injection period immediately following termination of another spray cycle.在其它实施方案中，该挥发性组合物可被喷射，从而在挥发性组合物之一的喷射周期的终止和另一种挥发性组合物的喷射周期的开始之间存在间隔。 In other embodiments, the volatile compositions can be injected, so that there is an interval between the start of one of the termination of the injection period the volatile composition and another spray cycle volatile compositions.图3显示用于喷射两种挥发性组合物的喷射程序的一个非限制性实施方案，其中在所述挥发性组合物的喷射之间存在间隔，“g”表示间隔。 Figure 3 shows a non-limiting embodiment of a jet injection procedure two volatile compositions where there is an interval between the injection of the volatile compositions, "g" represents a spacer.在其它的实施方案中，所述挥发性组合物可被喷射从而在两种或多种挥发性组合物的喷射周期内存在重叠。 In other embodiments, the volatile compositions can be injected so that the injection of two or more volatile compositions memory cycle overlap.图4显示用于喷射两种挥发性组合物的喷射程序的一个非限制性实施方案，其中挥发性组合物的喷射之间存在重叠，符号“&amp;”表示两种挥发性组合物均被喷射的一个喷射周期。 Figure 4 shows a non-limiting embodiment of a jet injection procedure two volatile compositions where there is an overlap between the symbol injection volatile compositions "& amp;" represents two volatile compositions are injection an injection period.图5显示一个用于喷射三种(或多种)挥发性组合物的喷射程序的非限制性实施方案，其中在一种挥发性组合物的喷射与两种其它挥发性组合物的喷射之间存在重叠。 Figure 5 shows a non-limiting embodiment for the injection of the injection procedure three (or more) volatile compositions, wherein the injection of the injector with the other two volatile compositions between one volatile composition overlap.在另一些实施方案中，对于一种或多种将要连续喷射的挥发性组合物和另一种将要被喷射且喷射时间大于15分钟的挥发性组合物是可能的。 In certain other embodiments, for one or more to be continuously ejected and another volatile composition to be injected and the injection timing is greater than 15 minutes are possible volatile compositions.

如果期望在所述挥发性材料之一的喷射周期的终止和另一种挥发性材料的喷射周期的开始之间具有间隔，那么所述间隔可为任何合适的持续时间。 If desired an interval between the start of the injection cycle the injection period terminates one volatile material and another volatile material, then the interval may be any suitable duration.合适的持续时间包括但不限于小于或等于约30分钟的任何周期。 Suitable durations include but are not limited to any period less than or equal to about 30 minutes.然而，也可能具有大于30分钟的间隔周期。 However, it may also have a period longer than 30 minutes interval.如果期望在两种或多种挥发性材料的喷射周期内存在重叠，那么所述重叠可以为任何合适的持续时间。 If the desired memory overlap two or more volatile materials injection period, then the overlap may be any suitable duration.随后被喷射出的挥发性材料的喷射周期可交迭正在喷射的第一挥发性材料的时间为大于0％至100％。 Then the injection period the volatile material is ejected may overlap the first volatile material is being ejected time greater than 0% and 100%.例如，在某些实施方案中，可能期望在不同的挥发性材料之间存在约25％的重叠。 For example, in certain embodiments, it may be desirable to about 25% of overlap between different volatile materials.例如，不是气味“A”喷射60分钟，而是随后的气味“B”喷射60分钟：气味“A”可喷射45分钟，之后气味“A”和气味“B”可一起喷射30分钟，再之后气味“B”可喷射45分钟。 For example, the odor is not "A" injection 60 minutes, but then the smell of the "B" injector 60 minutes: Odor "A" may be injected 45 minutes after the smell of "A" and smell "B" may be injected for 30 minutes, then after odor "B" may be injected 45 minutes.在这种情况下，30分钟是气味“A”和气味“B”以及它们的组合的喷射总时间(或120分钟)的25％。 In this case, the total injection time is 30 minutes (or 120 minutes) Odor 25% of "A" and smell "B", and combinations thereof.
